    Please TRIPLE CLICK TO HIGHLIGHT TEXT FOR EASIER READING College Library is usually thought of as a cold, sterile and quiet place. As the quarter progresses, Bruins from both North and South campus are turning to this central building as a prime place to study for their midterms. Thanks to the Powell Concert series, however, the study environment will temporarily change as various student and faculty musicians will be brought in to perform hour-long sets. The series is a way to give musicians at UCLA an opportunity and venue for displaying their talent. The concerts are centered in the rotunda of the library, which is the area with the high ceiling when you first enter through the main doors. "We typically have choral or quiet instrumental music which works well with the Rotunda acoustics," said Catherine Brown, associate librarian and director of the concert series. The series, which was started in 1998 as a quarterly event, will kick off tomorrow with a classical acoustic guitar performance by UCLA alumnus Payam Larijani. Larijani is honored to return to his alma mater and excited to open the series that he remembers attending while a student himself. Since leaving UCLA, he has been in graduate school for commercial music at California State University in Los Angeles. "It made my day when they agreed to let me come play at Powell," Larijani said. "I'm looking forward to setting the tone for the rest of the concert series." Larijani credits Professor Peter Yates with having the biggest influence on him while studying here. He remembers his lessons as being inspiring and his theories were those that could be applied to everything in life. The education in classical guitar he received here was perfect preparation for the work he is now doing at CSULA. Having picked up the guitar less than a decade ago, Larijani has progressed quickly. He says the skills of playing came very easily to him, probably because of his immense love for the instrument. "The guitar is much more direct than other instruments," Larijani said. "It has a distinctly sensitive quality to it." Although it is Larijani's dream to play in a popular rock band, he does get to play with CSULA's school group. Besides that little side endeavor, most of the work he is doing there is very practical and geared toward training him for a real job. Larijani is learning to compose scores for film and television at CSULA's program. Using all of the latest technology for musical composition on computers, Larijani is acquainting himself with his inner-computer nerd. With his knowledge he has recently been able to record his own CD. After choosing 20 of his favorite classical pieces for the guitar, he spent all of last summer perfecting his selections, which are now available on MP3.com. "I love free music on the internet," Larijani said. "It gets my music to people who would have never heard me." When asked about the possible disturbance the concert in Powell could cause, considering it is right in the middle of midterms, Larijani was quick to reply. "Everyone needs a good study break at some point," he said. "Besides, it's mellow music; maybe it will even help some people study better." Payam Larijani performs at 4 p.m. at Powell Library. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- By Shana Dines DAILY BRUIN REPORTER sdines@media.ucla.edu
